Murder in the Name of the Lord

 
Photo and headlineLaw & Crime, 10/7/2024
The Ozark Police Department has said that Matthew Lynn Dedmon, a now 49-year-old from Springfield, on the afternoon of May 28, 2022, shot 57-year-old Joe Newburn multiple times in the chest on the 100 block of West Church Street after he allegedly spotted his wife with the victim at a restaurant in the Ozark Courthouse Square Historic District and violently lashed out over an affair, leading to Newburn’s death the next day at Cox South Hospital. 
After Newburn’s death, Dedmon was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and kept in jail without bond for more than two years as the case was bogged down by a discovery battle and a lingering fight over a “motion to endorse” witnesses to testify at trial.
